After a long and arduous march, the Testudo ECW/TYW range is available again. Well, a part of it is. We are getting the models re-released in stages, and the first stage is now available for sale.

This is made up of four codes:

ECW/TYW heavy Horse:

ECW/TYW (mostly) medium Horse:

ECW musketeers in caps (which are especially suitable for English):

and ECW pikemen in English morion:

These have all been remoulded and samples painted for display, as seen above. The horses are from our Imperialist TYW range, as the horse masters from the range were, in our opinion, too thin to be viable for another press in the mouldmaking process.

You'll also note on the page there are three additional codes also available now -- armoured pikes (in cuirass), musketeers advancing (shouldered musket), and infantry command. These are ready to purchase but they have not yet been painted so the images are not on the site -- if you want them you'll need to purchase them sight unseen I'm afraid, at least for the next few weeks.

More moulds will be made soon, and we hope to have the entire range available again by early next year. As the line is mature and to some extent sold-through, the models have been very attractively priced -- and of course they are the same splendid sculpts by Guiseppe Rava that have long made the range famous. (The horses from the TYW range were sculpted by Mike Broadbent.) Painted by Artmaster Studios. Available now!

Very nice!

I'm on record as doubting whether the newer horses would work with the riders, but looking at the photos looks like my doubts were unfounded.

Order being prepared!!

Lovely figures. How do these compare with other ranges (most of mine are Peter Pig) size-wise?

I have some from when they were just Testudo. They're pretty big ,I'm afraid. I don't think they would fit with Peter Pig, which are pretty tall. The Testudo figs are about 18-19mm tall.
Good news about the horse. The Testudo ones were very skinny and weak at the ankles( should that be fetlocks?) several of mine broke off there.
Good to see they are available again

Oops, mis typed there…. Peter Pig are pretty SMALL.
That makes more sense!

Great to see that Testudo are becoming available again. I hope you are thinking of releasing some of the personality/general officer codes. I was just thinking about getting some when the range disappeared off the scene a few years ago….
